The W-S (Wake-Sleep) algorithm is a simple learning rule for the models with hidden variables. It is shown that this algorithm can be applied to a factor analysis model which is a...
The asymptotic behavior of stochastic gradient algorithms is studied. Relying on some results of differential geometry (Lojasiewicz gradient inequality), the almost sure pointconve...
— We present an ant model that solves a discrete foraging problem. We describe simulations and provide a complete convergence analysis: we show that the ant population computes t...
